My puppy loves to bite?

My lab puppy is about 4 months old and she loves chew on fingers, legs, faces, anything. I know it helps her teeth but Zoe's teeth really hurt. She has a lot of toys, but she stills seems to love chewing people! When will she stop gnawing on us? And what can I do to help her?

Give her plenty of appropriate things to chew on such as a nylabone. You can also take a clean towel, get it wet, and put it in the freezer. After it's frozen, you can give it to her to chew on. When she bites you, give a firm no, give her a toy she can chew on, and walk away from her. Don't give her any eye contact or attention. When she's chewing on the toy, praise her. If she bites you again, do the same thing. Remember, she's still a puppy so be patient and don't get frustrated when she doesn't understand the first few times that she's not supposed to chew on people.
Reply:when my family dog (part lab) was a puppy, around ur puppy's age, he chewed people, too. he had many toys and found some interest in them. maybe her toys arent hard enough and aren't making her teeth feel better. i suggest what my 2.5 year old plays with. he chews on a rubber tire. real rubber. we buy him huge ones at animals and things. it makes his teeth feel good and its fun for them to chew on. they come in many sizes and at descent prices. hope i helped!!
Reply:well you can get her some toys that are thick so she will chew on those for a long time... she will stop soon if you teach her.. teaching her to stop is kinda hard because you have to punish her for doing bad.. if u dont liketa smack her or something like that theen get a spray bottle and fill it up... when she bites u, spray her and tell her no bad girl... then put her somewhere with her chew toys... she will soon learn not to do tht... hope i helped....
Reply:All puppies love to bite and gnaw and it's your job as their owner to teach bite inhibition. She needs to know that mouthing your hands is OK, but bearing down with her teeth is not. Start by giving a high pitched yelp when she bites down; she'll know she hurt you and with some dogs that's enough (I mean, you have to do it over and over again, not just once...) If that doesn't do it, you have to take her toy (you) away when she bites down too hard. I would let my puppy mouth my hands, but if he bit down hard, or bit anywhere near my face, or bit on my clothes, I said NO firmly and got up and stepped away a few paces. Ignore her for a minute or so then go back to her. You just have to repeat the process until she realizes that to keep playing with you, she has to be gentle. You'll run into a fresh challenge when her adult teeth start coming in and may have to teach her all over again. Also, make sure she always has access to lots of chew toys; she needs them to grow up with healthy teeth.
Reply:You must be very firm with Zoe about not biting people. Already at 4 months she is hurting you - imagine what she will be like fully-grown, especially if she gets angry.





Clearly she thinks it is OK to bite people at present. You must very strongly discourage this behaviour, and be consistent about it.





Don't let anyone put their fingers in her mouth, and don't let her jump up - she should not be able to get NEAR anyone's face to bite it.
Reply:get a rubber toy, maybe a squeakin toy, but make sure that all her toys r real rubber

Puppy play...


Those are the reasons puppys nip and bite like that.


She has no idea that her teeth hurt.





If she nipped her birth mama, mama would bite her or growl at her and threaten to bite... or roll her...





What you can do is take your hand when she nips and wrap it around her upper jaw so her lips are between her teeth and your hand. Then you hold gently and firmly so she learns that her teeth are sharp and DO hurt. You hold her still this way and calmly, but firmly say "you DON'T want to do that" ... hold her a while and then let her go. It doesn't really hurt her, but now she knows her teeth hurt you and you don't want her nipping. It takes a while and repetition but the smarter she is, the sooner she'll stop.





If you wish, you can also try 2 quick fingers to the nose, instantly and firmly enough to make her sneeze, saying "NO BITE"
Reply:thats just how puppies play they like to just mess around and have some fun it is not at all a problem it willl grow out of it if you give it good toys to chew on and also to tell him no if he nips at you. sooner or later he will find that its not as fun anymore!
